Opinion: Femi Fani-Kayode – The Minister of cant

by Yakubu Datti Now, perhaps, we can safely assume that Fani-Kayode wants more Nigerians to die in order to prove that his comments are right. Rather, we should ask Fani-Kayode this question: “Why should any Nigerian die from an air crash?” Really, to any right thinking person, why would the president or the aviation minister... Read More

Ochereome Nnanna: Stella Oduah’s act of God

by Ochereome Nnanna Her mood change owed to calls in some quarters for her to be replaced because under her watch, Nigeria recorded unprecedented number of air mishaps totaling seven in just two years, with nearly 200 precious lives lost.

Ayokunle Odekunle: Femi Fani-Kayode should stop haranguing us with witless theories

by Ayokunle Odekunle I have nothing against Mr. Fani-Kayode but he insults our senses by coming to town with some far-reaching theories. I genuinely feel bad for him, he needs our help. Writing is an art, an act which requires a tact which is to give the readers facts. The writer’s primary duty is to... Read More

by Hauwa Gambo His is tainted with malice, with evil, with the basest of human sentiments support of tyrants and dictators, advocacy for wars and genocides, destroyer of marriages and relationships, cauldron of hate and wickedness.

by Femi Fani-Kayode by Akan Ido The bickering between Femi Fani-Kayode and the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah continues to fester as the former has again replied her yesterday saying “she should be attempting to encourage the Nigerian people and assuage their fears rather than indulging in petty and cheap sideshots and an futile press...

Oche Joseph: Malam Nasir El-rufai is pointing fingers at everyone except himself

Opinion: United Nigeria – Is it a reality or a mirage?

by Ador Umar Muhammed One of the clear symptoms indicating that Nigeria is a failed state is that most of us, especially the elite, no longer have nationalistic feelings for it; everybody is more concerned about his/her ethnic or sectional enclaves, or about issues of the stomach for ordinary citizens due to the festering economic...

Obi Nwakanma: Fani-Kayode’s questionable call to disband Nigeria

Femi Fani-Kayode: The PDP crisis is essentially a fight between two lions

by Femi Fani-Kayode What is going on in the ruling party today has little to do with the ordinary people of Nigeria. It is simply an internal and brutal struggle for the very soul of the party which is being waged between the new order, led by a relatively weak, inexperienced yet desperate President… Five...

Femi Fani-Kayode: A time to ponder

by Femi Fani-Kayode Many may disagree but one thing that I believe that we can at least agree on is that perhaps it is time for us to be courageous enough to begin to talk about these issues openly and debate them. Today a great march and protest is taking place in the Catallan region of... Read More

Opinion: Barack Obama, Syria and the coming carnage (Part 2)

Opinion: Femi Fani-Kayode spoke my mind

by Olagunju Isaac Call me a tribal bigot, insult me, threaten me, blackmail me. Chief Femi Fani Kayode is my spokesman. His response is the opinion of millions of Yoruba’s.

Opinion: In defence of Femi Fani-Kayode

by Olaitan Ladipo It is also clear that essentially only our Igbo brethren exhibit this discourteous habit. Other ethnics usually show appreciation for generosity and show respect for host traditions and ancestry. It is even more important to note that the Igbo do this usually, only in matters pertaining to the Yoruba. The striking resemblance... Read More

Akin Osuntokun: Deportation and the Fani-Kayode debate

Subtlety and diplomacy are not his strong points. As the cliche goes, all this would have been laughable if it is not... Read More

Opinion: Femi Fani Kayode – A lost cause

by Airhunmwunde Matthew He is still souring and submerged in the mystery of his inability to vent what the moment requires. His slanderous attack on today’s men is distinct from the perception of other yesterday’s men. It is bewildering and almost appalling that Nigerians are baffled at the recent and unabated harangue by a putatively... Read More
